How n Poor Little Mouse caused the

How n Poor Little Mouse caused the
Separation OF u Scotch Couple.
When two people have "made up"
after quarrel, 1t Is safest to '1et
sleeping dogs lie." and refer no more
to the bone Of contention. Even q
good-natured recurrence to the sub
ject contains within it the germs Of re-
elimination. A Scotch couple had
lived together happily for several
years. but one evening when they were
seated at their fireside mouse chanccd
to run across tho floor.
There's moosie." said the wife.
ut cam frae below the bed. T"
"Na," said her husband, sit cam
out below the kist (ches)."
They began to debate the point o
keen argument onsued. and angry
words were unspsringly used. The
controversy was resumed in the morn
ing. and continued. from day to day,
with increasing violence. until the wife
left the house and returned to her
friends. The couple lived apart for
twelve years. and then, after friendly
intercession, became roconciled. They
resumed housekeeping, and during five
years tho voice Of discord was un-
heard beneath their roof At length
the wife ventured to refer to the cause
Of their long cstrangcmcnt.
Wasn't 1t absurd, dear john" said
she, "that we should have separated
aboot sic a trile rs moosie comm

The other day he boarded the nc

She had q large fat basket filled with
raro and costly hot-house plants.
There was n generous solicitude vast
cd over the basket Of plants. and 1t
touched the commercial mans heart
to see so much sweetness thrown
away. He mado up his mind to assist
tho fair girl off the train-merely as o
matter OF accommodation. Of course.
The train started. The girl picked
up vagrant paper and commenced to
pcruse the Wants column; the COM
merclsl man watched tho girl with ono
eye and the basket Of plants with tho
other.
The train reached Rome. The girl
rnshed from her seat and left tho Car.
The commercial mans time had ar
rived. BY heavens! the girl has for
gotten her plants. He grabbed the
basket. rushed out and deposited his
precious burden upon the platform. OF
course the fair stranger will find her
plants there. and bc, oh. so thankful
to some one. t,.,- h. u, ...

Feminine Self.Possession


Some people can not DO brought to
acknowledge themselves in the wrong
under any circumstances. I have an
acquaintance--a lady who is tho per-
sonifcation Of dignity and self-posses-
sion. She considers herself quite above
the mistakes Of common people. Some
time since she attended a lecture with
party Of friends. After the lecture
they repaired to an oyster-house for
supper. My friend ordered fried oys-
ters. On the table was the usual bot
Ito Of olive oil, which tho lady mistook
for vinegar. She deliberately poured
the oil over her fry. OF course, tho
first mouthful apprlsed her Of her mis-
take. 'You got hold Of the wrong
bottle" lsaid; ''order another fry" :"
She gave me a withering glance. and
frigidly replied, mo. ] thank You, I
always prefer them this way" and she
continued TO eat tho oil-ssturated oys-
ters in dlgniiicd silence. - Chicago Jour.

Discovery OF Monster Variety of tho In
valuable Vegetable = ~
The announcement that now and
splendid variety of asparagus has been
discovered on the ssteppes OF ,Akhaa-
Tekiz may perhaps impart to these re-
cent acquisitions of Russia more In.
terost than they have hitherto been
reckoned to possess. II the man who
makes two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before is public bene-
factor, surely the discoverer Of a fresh
variety Of so invaluable vegetable as
asparagus deserves the gratitude re-
served for the greatest Of philan-
thropists. 1t is possible. indeed, that
the thanks Of tho world might have
been more lavish had the gift brought
us from Central Asia been more gen.
orally popular. 1t is stigma on our
age that asparagus is not a vege-
table In universal demand; but to
those who are capable Of appreciating
its degenerate relative so long and
so favorably known In Europe. tho
new variety would seem to lack little
as regards size and abundance. We
are told that 1t grows perfectly wild.

flavor Is described as equal to that Of
the best European kinds. it Is not un-
likely that for q time at least the arm.
les Of the Car may be asked to adopt

nothing incredible In the tale which
reaches us. The vast uplands Of Con-
tral Asia are still only partially
known, and during the progress Of the
recent Boundary Commission the bot
anists of tho party noted more that
one plant which might form useful
addition to tho scanty supplies Of these
regions. But whether the new variety
Of asparagus is actually q new form,
or only an enlarged edition Of
the Old one, still remains to be
settled. The natural science Of
soldiers is never very trustworthy, aud
